This research aims at understanding general self-efficacy and work
engagement of professors of the Psychology Program of a private university in
metropolitan Lima. To reach this objective, in-depth interviews with seven professors
were conducted: three of them were women and four were men. Based on those
interviews, it was possible to understand what personal factors have helped said professors to carry out their work as well as with what they are engaged. Finally, it
was concluded that professors have self-efficacy, as they assess their skills and their
environment to achieve their goals. Another finding was that they are engaged with
their teaching work, and this is based on their interaction with their students, since
they do more research and are up-to-date with current practices in their field.
